Dear fellow Californians,
Big Oil is trying to frack up our state and it's time to put a stop to
it. They've used their money to create a disaster of a bill that would
give them free rein to frack away.
This legislative session, we've been watching as various bills were
introduced to regulate the dangerous practice of fracking in California.
We were hopeful that something would emerge to help California put an
end to this practice in the state...and had some hope when environmental
champion Senator Fran Pavley introduced her bill, SB4.
But
then Big Oil came in and threw their cash around -- pushing to remove
the bill of its moratorium provision, adding loopholes to avoid
disclosing chemicals and inserting a provision that could even block
Governor Brown's authority to ban fracking should he determine it is
unsafe.
Just
as Big Oil tried to kill California’s global warming bill in 2010 with
Prop 23, they’re now trying to use their millions to frack freely around
our state. We can’t let that happen.
That's why we're now joining with our allies in the Californians Against Fracking coalition to tell Sacramento to stop SB4. Click here to join the fight and call your Assemblymember today.
SB4
has gone from a potentially decent step in the effort to slow fracking
in California to what it is now: a bill riddled with loopholes that will
allow fracking to boom in our state. And our communities and climate
simply can't afford it.
A vote in the Assembly could come as soon as today or tomorrow, so now is the time to stand up and tell our representatives in Sacramento to oppose this bill.
Our friends at CREDO have set up a great tool to help you call your Assembly member. Click here to use the tool to call your Assemblymember today!
California
has for a long time been a leader on climate and protecting our
environment. We have beaten Big Oil before, and we can do it again.1 SB4 is a step back when we must be surging ahead.
Thanks for your help,
David Turnbull
